Hey there, welcome to the forums. Good to have another Cougar owner, but as ProfessorSabre said, there aren't many at all in Australia unfortunately in some cases, but we have something really unique...Except we all have black ones it would seem lol

Sometimes you can go a month or so without a post in this section :(

We're on the NewCougar Forums too...

Professor, your car's looking great and I love the new rims! No changes for mine as yet - but certainly am trying to get things in motion for some changes soon

Black is a good color ......... i wanted black, white or red. Thats cool they are rare over there, i see at least 10 a day...but it doesnt bother me, they are easy on the eyes! Are there many 2.5L's or do you have alot of 2.0's?

I was after French Blue, or Black. Happier with Black, because it's such a great colour when it's clean!

We didn't get any 2.0L versions in Australia. Unless some flew in under the radar somehow? Ours were also marketed as Tickford vehicles so could only be purchased originally from an FTE dealer.

We got a couple of "Eibach" editions which included the Visteon Bodykit, wheels and suspension - apart from that they were all standard with auto or manual, and option for leather with heated seats, spoiler, sunroof and 6 CD stacker.

The body kit is a Ford Factory kit, basically it's the Visteon kit that you guy had in the USA.

My front lip is from Wings West from the the USA also.

The Visteon kit, if you can find one over there will fit your car. Wasn't Aerogear going to produce a carbon fibre version of the Visteon kit?

Excellent now there's four of us!

Thanks for your comments, it's killing me trying to keep that car clean! I'm loving every minute of it still!

Those rims are the SVT rims from the States.

Tell me what changes you've got in mind.

Cheers
